BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ESPN, 8:00 a.m. ET

Yesterday, as promised, was an exciting day of tennis at Wimbledon. Serena Williams faced, and defeated gracefully, elder sister Venus. Roger Federer advanced to the quarterfinals with an impressive showing of skill, patience and nerve, as did Andy Murray. And defending champion Novak Djokovic (pictured), after losing the first two sets in tough tiebreakers to towering (6’8”), cannon-serving Kevin Anderson, evened the match by taking the next two sets, in a grueling duel that was stopped after four sets and just over three hours, because of fading light. Their final set will be played this morning, which ESPN will telecast live – along with all the women’s matches in this year’s quarterfinals. Three Americans are in the women’s quarterfinals: Serena Williams, CoCo Vendeweghe and Madison Keys. Along with the USA taking the World Cup in women’s soccer Sunday, it’s been a great week for American female athletes.
 
  
 
 

TCM, 4:30 p.m. ET

Today and tomorrow, TCM is saluting the centennial of the invention of Technicolor. The tribute begins at 6 a.m. ET Tuesday with a showing of the first feature-length color film, 1922’s The Toll of the Sea (before that, Technicolor was used sparingly, and mostly in shorts). Colorful examples of the pioneering color process are available all day and night today and Wednesday. Among the Day 1 highlights is this 1938 Michael Curtiz-direction action film, starring Errol Flynn as Sir Robin of Locksey – a.k.a. Robin Hood – and Olivia De Havilland as Maid Marian. Co-stars include Basil Rathbone, Claude Rains (who would work with Curtiz again, a few years later, on Casablanca), and, as the imposing Little John, Alan Hale – whose son, Alan Hale Jr., would end up playing the Skipper on Gilligan’s Island.

 
  
 
 

Comedy Central, 10:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: What a triumphant season for Amy Schumer – a Peabody award, a new movie about to open, and a series of shows, this year, that started boldly and brilliantly and never slowed down. Tonight’s season finale presents the usual number of titillatingly twisted sketches – including one in which Amy plays a witch accused, in Puritan times, of cursing the town’s menfolk… with what sounds an awful lot like a series of cases of STD.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 10:01 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: This friendly little game show, a spiritual throwback to the good-natured fun of Password and the like, begins Season 3 with host Jane Lynch presiding over a mix of oddball quizzes, in which regular contestants are paired with teams of boisterous celebrities. Tonight, that roster includes musician John Legend and wife and model Chrissy Teigen, and actors Zachary Quinto and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 11:30 p.m. ET

Michael Powell’s 1948 movie fable, about a ballerina (Moira Shearer) torn between love of her craft and of a young composer, and both possessor of and possessed by a pair of magical ballet slippers, may be the most sumptuous Technicolor film ever released. It’s the sort of film that has inspired generations to become dancers – or filmmakers.

Bu web sitesi tam bir felaket. Sanki 2005'te tasarlanmis ve hiç güncellenmemis gibi. Sayfalarin yüklenmesi sonsuza kadar sürüyor, baglantilarin yarisi bozuk ve düzen hiç mantikli degil. Bir seyler yapmaya çalisarak bir saatten fazla zaman harcadim ve sonra hayal kirikligiyla pes ettim. Dürüst olmak gerekirse, bu bir saka.
